Buzzing or Clicking on Hard Acceleration

APPLIES TO:
2003-04 Pilot

SERVICE TIP:
A loose wire harness mounting clip can cause a buzzing or clicking on hard acceleration that sounds like the A/T is on its last leg. To track down the culprit, do a torque converter stall test to apply a load to the engine and the A/T. Have someone jiggle the wire harnesses between the engine and the engine compartment bulkhead. Use a wire tie to secure any clip(s) that are loose.
